Clunking noise when driving over a pebble., (YES I used the search engine) Options

[GriffGirl]

I didn't wanna threadjack or anything since my clunking noise seems to be totally different than the "clunking while braking" thread... I know my rear struts are blown (there's evidence of leaking) and I'm getting ready to fix that very soon finally. But while I'm up in there I want to fix whatever it is that causes the awful clunking in the rear of my car. It happens mostly when I'm driving on the streets as opposed to highway. At higher speeds (over 45 or 50) it doesn't make the noise. I searched around and have found conflicting reasons that point to either the endlinks or the swaybar bushings (or strut mounts).

Anyone have any input on this, and how to I tell which one it is? I don't want to just arbitrarily replace stuff that doesn't need replacing. Yeah, I'm all for upgrading everything, but a girl's gotta pay the rent too.

Nothing was really wrong with the pin, there was just that really old rubber cushion[which was rather deteriorated btw] which was smoooshed up on the pin. I recently had all the parts off and cleaned cause my ebrake components were all wack due to prior owners horrible adjustment.

Anyway since it was a clunk in the rear I felt it was somewhat relevant and worth posting, and different from the clunking while braking.

Hope all goes well with your tranny and clunkity-thumping. [
